The University of Strathclyde's Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) studies on nasal sprays reveal the journey of drug-loaded droplets within the nose, crucial for swift absorption and therapeutic impact. This knowledge becomes a lifeline when fast-acting nasal sprays, like naloxone, rescues someone from a drug overdose where every second counts.  Knowing our work makes a real difference, and can save lives, is a significant impact.
